    Single-exposure visual memory judgments are reflected in inferotemporal cortex

    Travis Meyer, Nicole C Rust
    In response to the question "Have you seen this image before?", remembering and forgetting can be accounted for by a weighted linear read-out of memory signals in monkey inferotemporal cortex.

    Temporal transitions of spontaneous brain activity

    Zhiwei Ma, Nanyin Zhang
    Analysis of resting-state fMRI data revealed nonrandom temporal transitions between spontaneous brain activity patterns in both awake rats and humans.

    Alterations of in vivo CA1 network activity in Dp(16)1Yey Down syndrome model mice

    Matthieu Raveau, Denis Polygalov ... Thomas J McHugh
    CA1 physiology is altered in the hippocampus of Down syndrome mice during both spatial exploration and rest, paralleled by an increase in populations of interneurons responsible for single cell and network synchronization.

    PTEN negatively regulates the cell lineage progression from NG2+ glial progenitor to oligodendrocyte via mTOR-independent signaling

    Estibaliz González-Fernández, Hey-Kyeong Jeong ... Shin H Kang
    OPC-specific genetic inhibition of Akt upstream and downstream molecules in the mouse, and simultaneous OPC fate analysis reveal that PTEN-AKT-GSK3b forms a persistent negative signaling pathway for OL development, in parallel with the AKT-mTORC1 pathway.

    Pupillometry: Consciousness reflected in the eyes

    Woon Ju Park, Kimberly B Schauder, Duje Tadin
    People with higher autistic traits display stronger fluctuations in pupil size when presented with an optical illusion.

    Pupillometry reveals perceptual differences that are tightly linked to autistic traits in typical adults

    Marco Turi, David Charles Burr, Paola Binda
    Pupil difference during bistable perception of bright and dark elements predicts autistic traits.

    Preserving neuromuscular synapses in ALS by stimulating MuSK with a therapeutic agonist antibody

    Sarah Cantor, Wei Zhang ... Steven J Burden
    An agonist antibody to MuSK, delivered after disease onset, decreases the loss of neuromuscular synapses, improves motor function and extends the lifespan of ALS mice.

    A sleep state in Drosophila larvae required for neural stem cell proliferation

    Milan Szuperak, Matthew A Churgin ... Matthew S Kayser
    A role for sleep in developmental neurogenesis is revealed using a new system for studying sleep during nascent periods.

    A spatial memory signal shows that the parietal cortex has access to a craniotopic representation of space

    Mulugeta Semework, Sara C Steenrod, Michael E Goldberg
    Neural recordings and analyses illustrate a unique lateral intraparietal area (LIP) response that may contribute to how primates can establish a memory of the environment in a useful coordinate frame, and maintain this representation of the environment over time.

    Stochastic resonance mediates the state-dependent effect of periodic stimulation on cortical alpha oscillations

    Jérémie Lefebvre, Axel Hutt, Flavio Frohlich
    Stochastic resonance, triggered by fluctuations in brain state, is found to determine the outcomes of periodic stimulation and how it interacts with brain oscillations.
